South River Pudding.

When the steamer PentZ makes her
trips TO South River she does not expect
many passengers-the railroad being SO
near that most passengers go that way -
The dinner prepared these occasions
is net as elaborate as usual, as it is only
intended for the officers and crew. A
few days since passenger got on at South
River and after dining heartily on ham,
roast beef, &c, asked the colored gentle
man who waited at the table if there were
no "aftercomes." In reply he was told
that they only had South River Pud
ding F" The gentleman used to the fine
living of South River said: well, that
just strikes me, for if there is anything |
like it is South River Pudding; bring me
a piece" The waiter brought him a
plate of bread and pitcher of molasses.
The gentleman face fell. he was silent
for moment. but then he let out aud
made the air sulphurouswith his language.
lie did not care SO much for having been
given bread and moasses, but the retiec
tion on South River was too much for
him and now when the PentZ goes To
South River they either give no desert or
if it is bread aud molasses, they call it
bread and molasses." No more South
River Pudding" appears on their chill of
fare

Communicated
short Line Railroad.

Mr.. EDTToR-Can il be true that the
Short Line Railroad propose 10 run an
excursion train to Baltimore one day this
week al a reduced rate of fare. TO afford
opportunity TO such as may so desire TO
make their Christmas purchases In Baltl
more. For one, l can hardly credit the
report, as do not thipk tue management
of the road would pursue such suicidal
policy Nevertheless. the merchants OF
Annapolis, who have large supplies OF
such goods aud at reasonable prices, may
as well keep their eyes open, aud If It Is
done, TO resent il in the future. For II
the road propose to discriminate against
the trads of Annapolis nor, they will have
none but themselves tn blame If they are
Disseminated against in the future.
ANNAPoLITAN.
I'VE are informed through an official of
the road, that these reports are unbound
ed and without the shadow of truth
They will run no special or shopping train
outside of their regular scheduled trains,
and there will be no reduction of the
present fare. These reports, they claim
are put out with view of antagonizing
the merchants of Annapolis with the
Short Line Road. They propose to accom-
modate the people in every way they can
and at the same time will do nothing I'M
derhandedly to injure the business of An
napolis. We make this statement in justice
to the road and its officials. ED.

Notes from ArnOId's.

The heavy snow that fell in this section
on Saturday prevented many persons from
getting To- the country stores, aud every
body has been home bound ever since, as
travel is only made now by those residing
on the Short Line Road-the county roads
being in such fearful condition that
travel by vehicle is almost entirely sus
pended.
The prospects for busy Christmas
with the merchants in this section is very
discourasing The cry is hard times
and mo money"
The peach crop. which many In this
section depend upon for their harvest
money, being perfect failure this year,
they are lett with slim pocket books.
There is no stronger argument than this,
that our farmers depend too much upon
one crop, which if it fails leaves them
financially broke.
A variety of crops for which this Sec
ton is so well adapted would keep them
In money the year round Some of them
are beginning to realize this fact, and we
may expect in the future to see greater
variety OF crops cultivated in this section
than ever before.
There is some talk abeut forming a
corporation among the truckers of this
section for conducting the canning bust
ness on large scale-there is more money
realized from canned goods than any 9th
er. We hope TO see such an establishment
started as il would be a great benefit to
everybody engaged in it.
Several socials are announced for the
coming holidays among the young peo-
pie, of which / will inform You when
they come of. Yrs. RAMBLER.

by MIR. Dibble. of South Carolina, REFER
ing TO the committee on appropriations,
the reports of the Court of Claims on the

meutary inquiry respecting war claims.
Speaker Carlisle ruled. as tr. M Comas
contended, that all bills to pay war claims
and other claims which had been reported
by the committees on war claims should
be placed first on the new calendar for
this Congress. In this connection, Mr..
James Legg, of this city. who had num-
Der of valuable horses taken from him

Ferdinand Mullan, Esq his alto rney, to
be reimbursed his losses. We wish him
success.
